| - My first mistake was coming back to O Noir for a second time in quite a short time span (within a few months of each other) as I feel that this is a place that once you experience it, which all of you should, there's not much else to see (no pun intended).
This is not a place I would go to for great food or service as it isn't about that and quite frankly, you won't find either. The waiter hardly visited our table, the food was blah and mediocre (and fairly over priced) and the portions small as my fingers danced around the plate swearing there should be more... I definitely got the wrong app... and I'm sure if I had sent it back, they would have changed it for me no problem, but by the time the waiter came by again, I was thankful I chose to indulge rather than starve as it would have taken far too long to correct this mistake...luckily I'm not a picky eater with no allergies or dietary ristrictions as I can see how messy (again, no pun intended) serving food in the dark can be for an establishment if those involved in plating and serving the food aren't careful.
The concept of dining in the dark is cool, fun and unique which I respect but I do think it takes a certain type of person to enjoy their experience here... it is definitely not for everyone. It was my friend's first time here and although we loved the idea and had a great time experiencing this together, we both agreed that it was a one-time-thing and would likely not return.
A few final thoughts: our reservation name was not on the sheet upon arrival although we called that day and spoke to someone to make it - luckily this wasn't a problem as it was a monday night and they just added it in. 2) My friend ordered a Heineken and we couldn't help but laugh at the hoegarden in his hand once exiting the dark room (shame on him for not being able to tell the difference...) but come on...this has me wondering what else is not what we ordered in that room..... 3) don't come here if you don't want to feel obligated to tip 18% .... groupon doesn't matter as they add the tip to the total of what the bill would have been prior to the discount.. then you are expected to not only tip on that but to tip 18% .... if this is the case, you better make sure your staff deserves it...... they add it to every bill "at your discretion" (what is the average person going to do?) And word it in a way so you hardly notice....just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And I'm a server. So I get it. But you're robbing people BLIND (okay, maybe that one was intended). And that is what earned you the 2 star O Noir, auto-grating on a non-existent bill.
